If we report what another person has said, we usually do not use the speaker’s exact words (direct speech), but reported (indirect) speech.
| Example: He said, “I am happy.” – He said that he was happy. |
|
|
| Commands in Reported Speech
|
|
|
tell + object + to + infinitive verb
- Example:
- She said, “Say hello to your mum.“ = She told me to say hello to my mum.
- For negative requests, use ‚not to‘ + infinite verb.
- Example:
- He said, “Don't do that. “= He told me not to do that.
- Requests in Reported Speech
- ask + object + to + infinitive verb
- Example:
- She said, "Could you lend me some money?" = She asked me to lend her some money.
- She said, "Please don't leave me." = She asked him not to leave her.
- Questions in Reported Speech
In
yes/no questions, use
"if".
| | He asked: “Does she live in London?“ | . = He asked if she lived in London. |
In reported wh-questions use the question word : what, where, when, why, how without the auxiliary.
He asked:“Where does she live?“ = He asked
where she lived.
1) Write reported ststements, questions, commands and requests.
